[QUOTE="allnamestaken"]I can't believe someone would get fired over this, all he did was complain about some front office moves. Fans do this all the time, who cares how eloquently he put it, it isn't the teams business.Jaysonguy
Let pretend you have a job
In that job you have a boss
You don't like your boss so you take out a billboard calling him names (also using language that puts the company in a bad light)
You don't think there should be ramifications?
Your speaking in a very general situation and even then no, I don't think so. What a person says on his own time should be his own business, if it's not hurting his work then what concern is it to the boss? To further nuance the situation, the person was commenting on front office free agency moves so obviously the ex-employee was also a fan of the team, and just didn't agree with the move. He probably doesn't hate his boss at all.

[QUOTE="SpringsCandy"]I dunno if that was directed towards me or what, but meh :P I don't mind, was just putting it out there because of all of the OMGTLDR comments from people who felt it necessary. And yeah, I kinda hate Twilight too. ...sparklesparklesparkly :( oh, no mainly at the unnecessary TL;DRs without any meaningful input. To quasheh: I just didn't understand what was happening. If I read it carefully I gather that Tom was in an accident in the past, but it wasn't serious or something... The point of the paragraph I assume was to show an example of a touching moment between the couple right? It just feels unnecessarily confusing to throw in hints of a previous accident. Plus why would Bill put her through the worry of thinking something was wrong with Tom, just to see her? Seems like a bit of a mean thing to do!
[QUOTE="quasheh"][QUOTE="SpringsCandy"]It's alright, parts of it remind me of SMeyer which isn't a good thing to me but might be to you. I'm guessing you're a fan? For concrit, I'd say cut down on the adverbs and dialogue tags. Otherwise? It was good and actually pretty sad. This is probably the wrong forum to post it in though. :P Thirding/fourthing/whatever the blog suggestion, more people are likely to read it that way honestly. Plus then it could be all organized and stuff! I've actually never read anything by her in my life. o.O In fact, I'm kind of opposed to the whole Twilight thing, haha. I actually agree about the whole blogging thing as well... but since it's late and my mind is functioning quite horribly, it was a quick 'hey, I could post my story here' type of things. Don't worry about it, some people just like to pretend that they actually care whether or not someone posts a story on an online message board.
I started off thinking I was going to hate it, but it wasn't terrible. The only part I didn't really like was when the killer started mocking the girl as the relationship between the killer and the victim was completely unclear. I mean, I realize that it was her ex-boyfriend, but how did he know about the couples personal conversations? Also, the second last paragraph made no sense to me.
Apart from that I'd say the imagery was a little cliche, but that's something you'll definitely develop as a writer. All in all, pretty good in my opinion! Also, this is way better than anything I could ever write so take my advice with a pinch of salt.
OT is the facebook/myspace of pseudointellectuals.

lmao lmao lmao That is beautiful and going in the sig. I'm going to have to be careful with what I say from now on though. I think Gamespot has potential to be a great social networking site, if they just fleshed out the friends list and personal pages a little more it could be an incredible meeting place for gamers.
